Watch Semi Truck Jump Formula 1 Car, Set Record

British Formula One racing team Lotus F1 pulled off an amazing trick by jumping a big rig hauling a trailer over one of their cars.

This stunt by software company EMC and Lotus F1 Team, set the Guinness World Record for jumping a big rig at 83 feet, seven inches, according to Jalopnik.

Who knew a record actually existed?

It's an amazing trick. As the truck jumps catches air, the car quickly passes underneath from the truck's right to left side.  The driver even appears to duck reflexively as he passes underneath the hulking vehicle – not like anything he could do at that point would save him if his timing were off.

Mike Ryan, who worked on Fast and the Furious and Terminator 2, reportedly drove the truck.
